Excellent, I was never lucky to have birds so close when carrying my 70-200mm. Hope some day could go to that place.A large percentage of our shots were with 70-200mm lens.

I was wondering about that. The last two summers I've gone out with co-worker out to watch a Red Kite that was nesting and hunting wood pigeons near his house. If it caught the slightest movement of you lifting you binoculars it would veer off in the opposite direction.disclosure, most of our shots were (a) from a boat and (b) were baited, as are most published eagle and owl photos.
also, the birds in homer, ak are habituated to being around people.
slightly similar to haines, alaska.
in most instances if you try to approach a bird on foot, unless they are on a nest, they will fly off when human is within 20 yards.
and ethics say never approach a nesting bird closer than 20 yards.

they're pretty savvy regarding humans and predators.
if you're watching from a vehicle, they are often tolerant.
but just open the door, goodbye!
